Hi all,  this is about the mom I have been working with that is having  the 
custody issue.  I have given her all the information I have received.  At this 
point, she has to give the overnight visitation this weekend. It will be  28 
hrs, she has tried three pumps and is now using the symphony.  Her main  
problem is that her left breast is painful when pumping (she is very small  
breasted). When she pumps she sees ony one pore squirting milk and a vein pops  out on 
the top, she has pain only on this one breast when she is pumping or if  she 
does not drain it out. The breastfeeding is the only release she can  get.
 
Although, I have not seen her pump nor consulted with her, she has just  told 
me about a surgery she had years ago for a cyst on her neck - she  does not 
know what they took out.  I am wondering if it is possible they  damaged nerves 
or lymph nodes and this is the reason for the problem. I have  given her some 
information on a non- invasive infrared breastscan, I have  just learned of 
(_http://infraredsciences.com_ (http://infraredsciences.com) ). I would  love 
to see what is going on in that breast and if there is any  abnormalties.  I 
totally recommend everyone to look into this non-invasive  test.
 
I have not pushed her to do a consult because everything with "nursing" is  
doing wonderful.  As a side question, has anyone done consults for pumping  
only?  
 
Thanks,
Donna B. Kimick, IBCLC, RLC
